Archived Mets live chat with Star-Ledger reporter Andy McCullough

George Napolitano/US PresswireFor the first time since 2002, the Mets will enter spring training without Jose Reyes, who has a new haircut and address, in Miami.

Join The Star-Ledger's Mets beat writer Andy McCullough today at 1 p.m. on NJ.com/Mets for a live chat on the team as it readies to embark on the 2012 season.

Mets pitchers and catchers report to Port St. Lucie, Fla., 12 days from today, the start of an important spring training as the Mets look to find replacements for veterans lost, evaluate young players — such as pitching prospect Matt Harvey, invited to this year's major-league camp — and test whether those returning from injury, such as Ike Davis, have recovered sufficiently.
